Texas wide receiver Johntay Cook II, a once highly touted recruit, is no longer with the program.
Texas coach Steve Sarkisian confirmed Cook is moving on during a video conference Thursday, calling it a mutual decision.
"We have nothing but respect for he and his family," Sarkisian said. "We wish him the best of luck in his future endeavors."
Cook was the No. 26 overall player in the ESPN 300 for 2023.
The sophomore from DeSoto, Texas, had eight catches for 137 yards and two touchdowns this season for the Longhorns, who debuted at No. 5 in the initial College Football Playoff rankings.
